Questions and Answers
How can you stop my decorative rock from shifting and washing away?
In Aztec, shifting rocks are often caused by wind, water runoff, and improper base preparation. We address this by first installing a high-quality, permeable landscape fabric barrier to suppress weeds and separate soil layers. Then, we ensure proper grading for drainage and use edging materials to create a secure border. For high-traffic or sloped areas, we can incorporate stabilizing grids or larger, interlocking stones to lock the landscape in place.
What's the best way to reduce dust in my Aztec yard?
Dust control starts with covering bare soil. We recommend a combination of solutions: installing drought-tolerant ground cover plants to hold the soil, applying a layer of larger, heavier gravel or crushed rock that resists becoming airborne, and using soil stabilizers where appropriate. For areas like driveways or paths, a properly compacted base and a dust-suppressing binder in the top layer of aggregate can make a significant difference.
Can you help with a landscape that requires very little water?
Absolutely. Xeriscaping is ideal for Aztec's climate and directly helps with dust and erosion control. We design with native and adapted plants that thrive with minimal irrigation. We then use strategic hardscaping, like patios and gravel beds, and organic mulch to cover soil, retain moisture, and prevent dust. This approach creates a beautiful, resilient landscape that saves water and stands up to our local conditions.
